Spoiled by Mr. Russell

Chapter 46

However, his threat meant nothing to Olivia. She paused her steps and slowly turned around. The sight of his angry face made her chuckle.

“Do as you wish, Mr. Hall! From now on, I‘ll choose when I want to work and what time I‘ll arrive. If you wish to penalize me for being late or playing hooky, go ahead!”

Then Olivia opened the door and walked out of his office.

“You‘re letting her go just like that?” In disbelief, Melanie stared at the door through which Olivia had exited, then turned to Nathaniel and said, “She‘s going to tell the press all that nonsense! How could you let her leave?”

With a dark expression, he roared in return, “What should I have done instead? We‘re at the company building! Do you know how many people saw her enter my office? Do you think I could lock her up?“.

“What should we do now?” Melanie was anxious and bit down on her lip. There are a lot of folks who are doubtful of her these days. The name Melanie had made for herself with much difficulty was now ruined. Thinking of it made her wish she could kill Lily.

None of them understood the reason for Lily‘s sudden change. She had been obedient for the last few years but suddenly turned her back on them. Nathaniel pressed his hands on the table, and his head hung low while his fingers curled into fists. His veins popped up on his wrist as he exerted too much strength, and his knuckles cracked.

“We have to make the first move and bet on it!” He slammed his fist on the table. When he looked up again, his gaze was filled with determination. “Get our lawyers to come over right now. I‘m going to sue her. Also, contact some of our classmates from university.”

“Huh?” Melanie blinked, unable to comprehend his plan. She thought she had misheard him and asked, “Why do you want to talk to our former classmates at this crucial time? What? Do you want to host a gathering for us or something?”

Melanie continued, “If not that, then do you intend to enlist their help in convincing Lily? Don‘t even dream of it. Lily didn‘t get along well with many people back then. What makes you think she would listen to them, whom she had not spoken to in years?”. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She shook her head, thinking to herself that Nathaniel was being unrealistic.

He looked at her helplessly. “What are you on about? Just contact them, especially those we had a closer relationship with back then. You should be able to find their contact information somewhere. All you need to know is that it‘ll be useful to me, and it‘s best to get it done as soon as possible!”

‘I can‘t drag this on any longer! Lily, since you insist on seeing the end of this, don‘t blame me for being merciless! You‘re the one who pushed me into a dead end first!‘

“Achoo!”

The sun was shining brightly, almost blindingly so. Lily scrunched her nose and let out a loud sneeze. A soft piece of tissue covered her nose. Blushing, she tried to take it from him to blow her nose on her own, but his hands had already moved. He wiped her nose gently, crumpled the tissue up, then threw it into the rubbish bin. His actions rendered her speechless. She was not a neat freak, but that made her a little uncomfortable. Nobody would imagine Alexander, the famed CEO of La Beauté Group and the powerful guy everyone feared in the industry, to help a woman blow her nose.

Her cheeks were still warm, and he had naturally circled his arms around her waist. “How‘s your first day at work?”a
